ICO means Initial Coin Offering. It means that a new altcoin has been created (and probably premined) and the coins are being sold.

Initial coin offering,but I warn you almost 90% of those who offered ICO in the past are gone now,taking all the investors money and all they got was useless coin with no usage at all.

Yeah, all ICOs are scam, except the exceptions. Usually, ICOs end up selling at a certain price which is higher than market price after an initial massive dump. Stagnation of the coin follows as (most likely devs) keep selling. And then a few of them pump again, to keep stagnating later. That's how it goes for most ICOs.

ico are pos coin in disguise where the initial distribution is no longer done for free like with the older pos coin, so they can scam more from you in case the project fall, i would avoid any unless you see a very high hype where you can do x2 at the beginning of the first pump

ICO is the new scam and nothing more, this is just a way for people to fill their pockets by hyping a coin and fooling us to buy into them so they can scam us in most legal way there is.
Trust me better to stay away from any ICO unless you have evidence of it being totally legit.

1000% profit is quite a number. I've seen great coins with great profits, but most were much lower than 10x. At least until now.
Meanwhile stories about "a friend" are far too many and some are rather shady.

I don't want to imply that you are lying, but I want to tell OP to keep his eyes open and never invest more than he can afford to lose, because for each good and legit ICO there are 100 scams.
I have invested in ICOs here and there, but always with extra care. Good luck!

Just don't expect to make a quick profit on genuine ICO's. Etherium took a year, I expect Waves will and, likewise many other ICO's.

They are entertaining, though!

With Waves, after the ICO ended the thread filled with hundreds of posts with people bitching, moaning and hassling the devs over the transfer to tradeable asset along with hundreds moaning about 'not on this or that exchange'. As soon as they got their Waves, they dumped at below ICO price only for price to rise well above ICO a month later!  ;D Don't underestimate the impatience and vitriol of folk who want lose their hard earned cash IMMEDIATELY!

The biggest laugh will be in the next several months or so when the price increases exponentially.  ;)

You have to do your research and find the genuine teams and propositions.

I will grab my popcorn and watch the same exact thing happen with Incent!  ;D

This is the first thing  newbie that wants to get into trading altcoin to learn,ICO means initial coin offering,these are premined coin that they are selling to investors that they can use for projects that dev of the coin are developing or promoting,you can also use these coins to trade on exchanges.
